Start and go right away, no full throttle, revs between say 2000 and 3500. After warm, spin it up baby.
I have 153k miles on the car and can't believe how it loves to run hard.

I start the motor, put my belt on, and let the car roll down the slight incline of the driveway. then i keep it close to 2000 for a few blocks (six close stop signs), then up to 3000, shift to second, and keep it between 2000 and 3000 for about 1/2 to 3/4 mile total, then go through the gears keeping it below 3500 till the temp guage moves up.
but i'm and old man so i dont punch it on the road much anyway. i just like young chicks seeing this ODB in a red sports car!
